Interpreting MathJax HTML in MKIV

Hello, I would like to manually create some HTML which would be displayed nicely in both HTML and PDF (using MKIV for conversion from HTML). To a certain degree I'm able to fake mathematics with <span class="math"><span class="letter">ax</span><sup>2</sup> + <span class="letter">bx</span> + <span class="letter">c</span> = 0</span> where <span class="math"> signals TeX to use \mathematics{...} and <span class="letter"> signals web browser that the letter has to be displayed in italic (I could use class="math", but this would also make numbers italic). But this is very cumbersome to write. MathJax offers an excellent way to enter math formulas in an easy way (see attached HTML), but I'm not sure how I could convince the XML parser to treat contents literally. Any ideas? Thank you very much, Mojca

$\xmlflushcontext{#1}$ another option is to use asciimath which is supported by the mathml module as annotation type Hans ----------------------------------------------------------------- Hans Hagen | PRAGMA ADE Ridderstraat 27 | 8061 GH Hasselt | The Netherlands tel: 038 477 53 69 | voip: 087 875 68 74 | www.pragma-ade.com | www.pragma-pod.nl -----------------------------------------------------------------

$\xmlflushcontext{#1}$
But how do I "catch" the expression that has to be interpreted that way? (I sent an attachment as example.) Mojca
